The Mekong Delta was formed primarily by mud from the Mekong River spreading in forklike directions out to the East Sea. The area itself was sparsely populated until the 19th century, when Vietnamese settlers moved slowly to the down South to take advantage of the newly formed region's rich agricultural potential. They call the area 'Mien Tay' or ' West'. Most of the area's geographical, cutural and architectural attractions are, such as temples that may appear to be hundreds of years old may in fact have been built as recently as the 1930s and 1940s.
